You listen and you learn,
But do you really understand?
You claim to be, but do you really know
What it means to be a friend?

A name is only a word until given a face
A word is only letters until given a meaning
A life is a life until it is lost
Death is not death; it is eternal

You wear your masks
You build your walls
To keep you safe from the world,
But you never realize
That along the way
You've lost track of who your are
